because youll encounter a lot of grade it now questions, its important that you understand exactly how your scores will be calculated. there are three types of grade it now scoring: averaging, keep the highest, and do no harm. the method of scoring will depend on what your instructor has selected for the course.\n\nreview the grade it now scoring options. then answer the questions that follow.\n\ngrade it now scoring options\n\naveraging: the score that is reported to your instructor is the average score of your attempts as of the deadline, including any work you have saved but not submitted for grading. for example, in the following table, the final score is 6.3 because it is the average of the three scores ($\\frac{5 + 4+10}{3}=6.3$).\n\nkeep the highest: your score is calculated by taking the highest score of the attempts you make. using the example in the following table, the final score is 10 because it is your highest score. the other attempts are not counted.\n\ndo no harm: the goal of this method is to encourage you to practice without fear of decreasing your score. your first attempt is your base score; the second attempt counts and is averaged with the first only if it is higher than the first; the third attempt counts (as an equal part) if it is higher than the average of the previously counted attempts. in other words, additional attempts that will negatively affect your overall average will not be taken into account. the example in the following table shows the final score is 7.5 (the average of 5 and 10, or $\\frac{15}{2}$), because the second attempt would lower your overall score and is, therefore, not included.\n\ngrade it now scoring examples\nfirst attempt second attempt third attempt final score\naveraging 5/10 4/10 10/10 6.3\nkeep the highest 5/10 4/10 10/10 10.0\ndo no harm 5/10 4/10 10/10 7.5\n\nwhich grade it now scoring option would give you the highest final score if your attempt scores are all different from one another?\n keep the highest\n do no harm\n averaging\n\nimagine that your instructor chose to use the keep the highest scoring method in grade it now mode. here are your scores:\nfirst attempt: 4/10\nsecond attempt: 6/10\nthird attempt: 2/10\n\nwhat would be your final score?\n 4\n 5\n 6
